My DH is still talking about this casserole! It was nice to fix something that didn't require a canned soup. I had no sherry wine so added 2 teaspoons of chicken bullion. Also added celery and minced red pepper instead of pimento, didn't have any in the pantry. I made it up in the morning and let the flavors blend until cook time in the evening. Thanks, will be making this one again.

Great simple casserole. I love the vintage recipes that don't call for a can of soup. I didn't have any kitchen bouquet,so I just browned the flour a bit before adding the liquids. This was a great way to use up those turkey leftovers. My son ate almost the whole thing himself, it was supposed to serve 4-6 but I guess that was in the 1950's when people weren't such piggies. :)
